Baker Police Searching for Missing Teen Henry Reddrick, 17, Last Seen June 7
BAKER, La. (June 7, 2025) — The Baker Police Department is urgently seeking the public’s assistance in locating a missing 17-year-old teenager, Henry Reddrick, who was reported as a runaway early Saturday morning. Authorities and family members are growing increasingly concerned for the teen’s safety, especially given his mental health condition.
According to officials, Henry Reddrick was last seen on the morning of Saturday, June 7, walking away from a residence on Plaza Drive South, heading in the direction of Groom Road, a residential area in Baker, Louisiana.
At the time of his disappearance, Reddrick was described as wearing a lavender shirt, gray sweatpants, and blue slippers. Police have emphasized that Henry suffers from a mental illness, which may place him at increased risk and make it more difficult for him to seek help or communicate with strangers.
Community Response and Police Efforts
The Baker Police Department has launched a search and is canvassing nearby areas, reviewing surveillance footage, and speaking with residents in hopes of locating the missing teen. Flyers with his photo and description are being distributed in the neighborhood and across social media platforms.

“We are asking everyone in the Baker community and surrounding areas to keep an eye out for Henry. If you think you may have seen him or have any information at all—no matter how small—please contact the Baker Police Department. Time is of the essence in cases like this, especially when a vulnerable teen is involved.”
The department has also requested that residents check their home surveillance cameras and report any potential sightings immediately. Given Henry’s mental health condition, authorities caution against approaching him directly. Instead, they urge citizens to call 911 or the police department’s non-emergency line if he is spotted.
Family’s Plea for Help
Henry’s family is devastated and deeply worried for his well-being. In a statement shared through the police, they asked for prayers and support from the community.
“Henry is a sweet, kind-hearted young man who needs to be home with people who love and care for him. We just want him safe. If anyone has seen him or has any idea where he might be, please let the authorities know.”
